Park Bo Gum as a Singer
The actor has proven his singing ability through various musical projects and drama OSTs. His interest in singing solo albums and remake tracks helped him showcase his talent. So, his fans were curious to know if THEBLACKLABEL would play a role in promoting him as a singer.
However, the agency said, "As this is the start of the contract, we haven't yet discussed the direction of his promotions".
